Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 cup buttermilk, warmed

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

2 tablespoons red food coloring

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tablespoons cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In another bowl, combine the warm buttermilk, melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

    Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable. Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

      Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

        Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter. If using nuts, stir them in as well.

          Roll and Fill: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

            Roll It Up: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.

              Prepare for Baking: Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

                Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden on top.

                  Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, adding milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.

                    Frost and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, let them cool slightly. Generously spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
